You may have to hack around a little. the Registry* functions are
embodied in the advapi32.dll, which is not one of the libraries included
in the rsxntdj distribution. There is, however, a utility to import
libraries from .dll's, so you should be able to make the necessary
libadvapi32.a or hwatever you want to call it.

The author of the DRDX packages reports some problems with the import
utility, and has written his own version. You might want to look at that
if you have a problem. I haven't used this ttechnique with the registry
stuff, but I was able to sucessfully import the winmm.dll with the
rsxntdj utility.
